Vynsane.com's Hasbro's Weekly Q&A

[Rick McCallum]

Can you an any sites that post rumors from getting news. I hate Rumors.

kidhuman, you're wise to stay away from rumor sites on the internet. Stick with Star Wars Insider and StarWars.com for accurate inside scoops from Steve Sansweet about upcoming collectibles and of course for all information on the upcoming Indy projects and Star Wars TV series. There is a new animated Clone Wars and a live action television series on the way.

[anarky]

Shhh. The upcoming figures are sleeping.

Since the question will likely be toned down and brushed off when asked by another site, what's the deal with this Cloverfield shit? You're making a $100 online exclusive monster, geared toward adults, based on an unproven film property, and not shipping until almost a year after the movie comes out. Why the hell do you keep telling us, the existing Star Wars collecting community, that things like Sail Barges and large beasts "won't sell" so you'll never make them?

Riddle me that, Hasbro. In your face, bitches!

[Ran]

How many times do we have to answer this? You guys don't want beasts, the Cloud Car, or playsets. They are doomed to fail just like the 7" Unleashed line. Now run off and buy some Jerjerods, Vaders, and Clones.

Are you guys don't with putting out those G1-based Transformers?

[anarky]

No, but we're glad you asked! More G1 Transformers will soon be available as exclusives at BotCon 2008, Star Wars Celebration Japan, and as giveaways from the Red Cross in Angola. Be sure to get these early, as they're never going to be released stateside!

Why the hell did you finally make a cool looking, articulated Jango Fett, but make him in purple?

[Perpantor]

GLAD YOU LIKE IT! I WAS RECENTLY HIRED AS A DESIGN CONSULTANT FOR HASBRO AND WAS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THIS FIGURE!!

I HOPE YOU ALSO ENJOYED THE PURPLE RA-7 THAT CAME WITH BOBA FETT IN THE WAL-MART EXCLUSIVE PACK!! THE FACT THAT MY LIFELONG DREAM OF A PURPLE DROID HAS COME TRUE, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE, GIVES ME A ERECT PURPLE-HEADED WARRIOR!!

THE SAMPLES YOU SAW AT TOYFAIR WERE UNPAINTED PROTOTYPES, BUT, REST ASSURED, HIGHLY DEMANDED FIGURES LIKE YARNA D'AL GARGAN, NIPPET THE WOKLING, BANE MALER, AND THE REVAMPED OBI-WAN IN CLONETROOPER ARMOR WILL BE ADORNED WITH (INACCURATE BUT) GLORIOUS PURPLE AS WELL!!

I HAVE NO QUESTION, AS I NOW WORK FOR "THE MAN"!! SO SOMEONE ELSE ASK ONE FOR ME!!!

THIS I COMMAND!!

[The Count]

TWENTY!!!

TWENTY OR MORE STUPID MANDALOREAN FIGURES IN A YEAR!!

[The Count]

ZERO!!!

ZERO GOOD MACE WINDUS IN NINE YEARS!!

[The Count]

FIFTY THOUSAND!!!

FIFTY THOUSAND COLLECTORS WONDERING WHY THE FUCK THIS IS!!

[Rollo Tomassi]

We now return to your regularly scheduled Q&A session. GIJoe is going to be a huge property for us in the upcoming year. We feel as if Cobra Commander is the new Darth Vader and Cobra troops are the new Clonetrooper. Look for Cobra Commander variants in each and every wave this year!



Are you guys cancelling Marvel Legends?!?!

[anarky]

I think that what the Count was saying, in his own strange way, is that we've had some ungodly number of made-up Mandaloreans (and useless Boba rehashes) in the past year, and it's been nine years since we got a passable Mace Windu, and that we're all wondering why.

Why did his strange way first include mentioning the two Biggs figures instead of the Mandalorians?

[anarky]

I can't speak for the Count, obviously, but maybe he thought it was odd that such a minor character went years and years without a resculpt, then two in like three months?

[Sleazer]

The Count or The Cunt ?

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

Both. Now back on schedule.

Yes, we canceled it. I think. It's hard to think with these douchebags getting off-topic.

Even though you've already answered it sixteen times, could you tell me why you're making animated-style Clone Wars figures? It just boggles my mind that you'd think of making animated-style figures based off of an animated show.

[Rollo Tomassi]

You. Love. Clones. We will continue to take this stance until you people agree with us.



Quick question. Do you guys still make Star Wars toys? Because I gave up on that shit years ago and I was just curious. Fags.
